Calculate your exact age in years, months and days from your date of birth.

What is the Age Calculator?

The Age Calculator works out exactly how old you are from your date of birth.

Enter your date of birth and it instantly shows your age broken down into years, months, and days, along with your total days lived and how long until your next birthday.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so your date of birth never leaves your device.

How it works

The calculator compares your date of birth with today's date.

It subtracts the two calendar dates field by field — days, months, then years — borrowing from the previous unit whenever a value goes negative, exactly like long subtraction.

Because month lengths come from the real calendar, leap years (including February 29) are handled automatically, giving you an accurate real-world age rather than an estimate based on fixed month lengths.

Examples

Born on a leap day

Someone born on 29 Feb 2000, calculated on 1 Mar 2025, is 25 years and 1 day old.

DOB: 2000-02-29
Today: 2025-03-01
25 years, 0 months, 1 day

Counting total days

A baby born on 1 Jan 2024 has lived 366 days by 1 Jan 2025 (2024 is a leap year).

DOB: 2024-01-01
Today: 2025-01-01
1 year • 366 total days
